Prithvi Vallabh actor Jitin Gulati: Started respecting contribution of women more in my life after playing king Tailap

Tailap considers his sister as his mother and in my real life, my mother and sister have played a very important part. Prithvi Vallabh is inspired from Prithivivallabh, a Gujarati fiction novel by Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi. The quality is maintained and the character is very good.

Jitin sports two hairdos in the show, and he shares the challenges he faces in terms of costumes and attire. So it is a great preparation for me for better roles going forward. As an actor I want to be very sure of what I’m getting into. There have been cases when I’ve been into a fight sequence, into an emotional scene and my wig is getting stuck in somebody’s jewellery and the whole set is laughing while I’m crying. I ask Jitin about his experience of playing a historical character, and he said, “I’m happy that I’m put through that challenge. In past one and a half years, I’ve been fortunate to be a part of good projects which have got the right traction from media and the audiences. His relationships are very incomplete.

Prithvi Vallabh airs on Sony TV on weekends at 9.30 pm. There’s nothing contemporary about it. “Tailap is a very indecisive guy.
